Lions roam free

Mark McGhee says he has sympathy for the Millwall players waiting to hear about new contracts.

Players including Stuart Nethercott, David Livermore, Robbie Ryan and Matt Lawrence will be free agents next summer but the club will let them leave if they find other clubs before talks start over new deals.

McGhee said: "If they cannot wait and want to take another offer, it is not fair to stop them.

"I respect their position but the situation in football has changed and clubs no longer have to decide on new deals before knowing their options."

The Lions have no new injuries for their match against Preston tonight.
